Disproportionately often, when a U.S. serviceman does something wrong in Okinawa, it turns out to be a black man.

And so here we are again. https://www.facebook.com/nicholas.jamesmclean

When I was in the military, 1978 - 1982, we were truly color blind. The pigmentation of a man's skin meant nothing, it was all about getting the job done. I miss those days. I was certainly no angel off duty.

I was stationed in Okinawa in the early 1970s...

whenever some bar was out-of-limits the black servicemen still went there...nobody dare tell them not to...the white officers were scared of being accused of racism...the so called “race relations” classes and committees were only geared to protecting the blacks from the whites and the locals...blacks were never racist...

Reading that Facebook page in the context of this story is a real hoot.
